Argan, Inc. to Voluntarily Withdraw Boston Stock Exchange Listing.

ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Argan, Inc. (AMEX:AGX) announced that its Board of Directors authorized the voluntary delisting of its securities from the Boston Stock Exchange. The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the American Stock Exchange.

Rainer Bosselmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Given our August 22 upgrade to the American Stock Exchange from the Bulletin Board, we do not believe that it is necessary to maintain a listing on the Boston Stock Exchange and incur the additional listing fees and duplicative compliance burdens."

The withdrawal from the Boston Stock Exchange is expected to be effective ten days following the filing of Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expects this to take place the week of September 3, 2007.
